Help Me Celebrate Love...The Second Time Around

Wednesday, January 16, 2013

The Love…The Second Time Around Celebration dovetails with the theme of my-soon-to-be-released
novel, Retribution. Help me celebrate by submitting your most interesting stories
of people taking another shot at a relationship.

FUN FACTS!

·There is no restriction as it pertains to form
or genre. Stories can be fact or fiction.
Use your imagination, make them attention-grabbing.

·Somewhere in
there, you must tell the reader why the
couple broke up and why they feel compelled to get back together. This can
be done from any of your characters’ point-of-view.

·The word cap is 500.

·Indicate on your
blog post, by the relevant badge, whether you’re in the fact or fiction
category.

·There will be voting and prizes, so it’ll be a reader’s choice situation, where you get
to choose your favourite anecdote/poem/refection/story. The best piece of fact
and fiction—as determined by your vote—will receive a $10.00 Amazon Gift Card,
so that’s two prizes.

I will be reaching out to a few trusty
bloggers so that in the event of ties, we can have a tie break decision. If we
cannot decide on a winner in either category, prizes will be divvied up between
the best two entries and the loot (meagre as it is) shared.

I hope you’ll join the fun and sign up
below to participate. Entries open now, so get cracking on those stories..

·Last day to submit
your piece of fact or fiction is on February 1. When
you posts are ready, link them directly here (Book release day is January
28, but we’ll be holding the blast off on Friday, February 1, 2013.) The polls will
open on February 2 and we’ll have a few days to read and vote.

.

·Winners will be announced on Friday, February 8, 2013..

I’d appreciate your help with spreading the
word, so do hit one of the share buttons before you go and don't forget to sign up!

Thanks!

P.S. -
Make sure to come back tomorrow when Mike Offutt will be my
guest.

So let me get this straight, would we post this on our blog any time between now and Feb 1st? It sounds like fun. I've never written romance, so this will be a challenge for me. But seeing as I'm challenging you with my own blogfest, I'm going to throw caution to the wind and sign up!

Hi, Nick, Yes you can post any time between now and then. I think I threw caution to the wind when I signed up for three blogfests and yeah, I'm gonna do the A-Z again. Crazy, I know, but fun just the same.

I'm terrible at writing romance yet there is a huge romantic element in my ms and that's the part I have to work SOOO hard at. But I'm going to give this a shot. I'll also help you tweet this. I can't wait to read what other people come up with. (:

Hey Joy, I was just wondering, do we sign up when we have our entries ready to post? If so, then I may have jumped the gun when I signed up. I'll have something ready before the Feb. 2nd date, maybe even by next week, but not sure when exactly.
